Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Zero Company

General Skywalker appears in a mission where Zero Company fights alongside him. He is a mission-specific character, not a recruitable Operator for the permanent roster.

What is confirmed

Skill Up's completed-game review describes a mission where the company fights alongside General Skywalker. EA's published community Q&A separately confirms that some missions add controllable characters beyond the normal four-Operator deployment.

EA does not name Anakin in that Q&A, so the character-specific confirmation on this page is attributed to review coverage rather than presented as an official roster announcement.

Is Anakin a recruitable Operator?

No published source places Anakin in the permanent recruitment pool or among the named story Operators who live at The Den. Treat him as a guest tied to a specific mission, not as a character whose specialization, Bonds, equipment, or Focus Points can be planned across the campaign.

How mission-specific allies fit the squad

The normal deployment limit is four Operators, but the official Q&A says certain missions can add other controllable characters. When a guest joins, inspect that character's available actions and position before committing each Operator's AP. Treat a fixed story ally as an extra tactical option rather than part of the long-term build plan.

A cameo, not the campaign lead

Review coverage describes familiar Clone Wars figures as cameos. The central campaign remains focused on Hawks, the named companions, Kundri Fathom, and the Infinite Coil instead of turning Anakin into the protagonist.
